Can you cite source?

Other than the fact that the EU has been discussing adopting us tier 3 (2010) diesel regs that are far more stringent on NOx and particulates

[slammin.e28]

I may have err'd here. I'm in gas land with emissions, but diesel, IMO, is better, bang for buck, mpg, etc, emissions, etc that gasoline.

[Ray Smoodiver]

No, they most certainly are not when it comes to diesel. Euro regs allow a much higher particulate count amongst other things, IE: it's dirty. It's why the US systems are resorting to the urea injection and such. Just because jim bob runs a power commander on his Ram 3500 and runs a tune that belches soot doesn't mean it would pass emissions.

Emissions in the EU are stricter than here in the states. Maybe crack down on the "soot spewing" Rams and F350s before going on about a little 4 cylinder TDI engine.

why doesn't the govt use their brain and sell the parts for money

Therein lies the problem.

I read somewhere that Canada (don't quote me on this) will actually auction the cars off to yards/parts houses to be parted.

Correct Build date of the automobile.

[SmokeE30]

Customs goes 25 years from build date not model year correct? So anything 8/88 and newer is good to go now right? One more week and all my cars will be 25 or older :0
